Subject of this document is how these tests are carried out by use of the TOE 9261,
especially under consideration of the following points:
Test assembly and wiring of the components
Choice of the right switch, i.e. power switch resp. signal line switch of the TOE 9261
Reference measurements according to the requirements of the LV 124-2013
Note The important points for test execution in line with the requirements of the standard aim at
the wiring as explained in the following:
The cross section of the cables must fit to the drawn current. For currents up to 100 A
please use the cables TOE 9260/22 and TOE 9260/23 (length 0.50 m) resp.
TOE 9260/24 and TOE 9260/25 (length 1.20 m).
The two wires from the power supply to the Plus and Minus sockets of the TOE 9261
have to be laid as closely spaced as possible (e.g. twisted) to reach minimum inductance
values.
As long as no artificial network is applied between the power supply and the Plus and
Minus sockets of the TOE 9261, the internal capacitor at the input of the TOE 9261
should be activated by setting the DIP switch INPUT C to ON. So the shortest possible
rise and fall times of the voltage at the DUT are achieved.

The two wires from the control unit to the Plus and Minus sockets of the TOE 9261
have to be laid as closely spaced as possible (e.g. twisted) and shall be kept as short as
possible to reach minimum inductance values.
Also the two wires from the OUT and Minus sockets of the TOE 9261 to the DUT have
to be laid as closely spaced as possible (e.g. twisted) and shall be kept as short as
possible. Any additional cable inductance will act as an inductive filter together with the
resistance and / or capacitance of the DUT, which results in increased rise and fall times
measured at the DUT.
If the DUT has to be connected by a wiring harness or if a wiring harness is part of the
DUT, the said remarks are valid for the cables from the OUT and Minus sockets of the
TOE 9261 to the start point of the wiring harness.
The positive supply wire has to be laid closely spaced to the negative (ground) wires.
Note If the applied power supply has an internal capacity between its minus terminal and earth,
the oscilloscope resp. data logger must not earth the minus terminal of the reference
resistor. Otherwise a capacity appears across the signal line switch, and the switching
times increase, especially at small load currents.
A differential probe or an isolating transformer for supplying the oscilloscope resp. data
logger shall be used in this case.

the oscilloscope resp. data logger must not earth the minus terminal of the reference

If an artificial network between the power supply and the Plus and Minus sockets of

deactivated by setting the DIP switch INPUT C to OFF. In that case the two wires from
the artificial network to the IN sockets of the TOE 9261 have to be laid as closely spaced
as possible (e.g. twisted) and also kept as short as possible to get short rise and fall
times at the DUT.
